1 - Reflection on Previous I Search Experiences (due Thur, Mar 15)
1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?
I have done projects on a labrinth and the biography board on Thomas Edison in 6th grade.
2. Based on these projects, what does research mean to you?
I think it means to learn as much as you can about your topic.
3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?
On the labrinth project, I did great. I had a fun group and we got a good grade. Teacher Response 3-15-07

Try to be more thorough when you answer your questions. 2 - Reflection on Webbing Process (due Fri, Mar 16)
1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because:
it helped me visually see all of the choices I got to see. I would have chosen Caesar or Pompey from Rome. I ended up choosing the Vikings. Teacher Response 3-16-07
